Cloud Dancer: The Pantone Color of 2026 – and how our Cloud Nine shade complements it

Stylish in soft off-white

Since 1999, Pantone has selected a yearly color based on extensive trend research, reflecting what moves people around the world. For 2026, this color is called Cloud Dancer: an elevated white that feels like a breath of fresh air and conveys a sense of calm.

A natural shade that doesn’t dazzle but soothes

Cloud Nine in our a/u Japan RE lite series has a similar effect – subtle, timeless, familiar, and at the same time ready for the future.

Ready for a fresh start?

Perhaps that’s why this shade resonates so strongly today. Many of us feel overstimulated and long for clarity, a moment to breathe, and the sense of being able to reset. Cloud Nine is minimalistic, clean, and understated. A color that never goes out of style.

Cloud Nine: clean and uncomplicated

The styles in our Japan RE and Japan RE lite series are made from durable nylon certified by the Global Recycled Standard. An additional stain-resistant silicone coating makes the bags less sensitive to marks and gives them an easy-care surface. The styles in the Japan RE series are also crafted from lightweight, hard-wearing certified recycled nylon. A PFC- and PFAS-free coating ensures a highly functional, water-repellent finish – for a fresh look that stays beautiful for a long time.
